Review: This cafe is just a few blocks from UNM campus so my daughter and I decided to try it one day after getting a positive review from a co-worker who is vegetarian. The menu is very large, the variety of dishes is quite extensive, and every dish we have tried there (we have been 5 times now) have ALL been excellent. The soups and "veggie of the day" are a definite must (coconut soup with sweet potatoes and greens is to die for!), along with the puri bread. My carnivore husband even ate there with us one day and really enjoyed his veggie burger with fries, even though he thought the bread was too heavy. The choice of teas is also HUGE, the black orange mint and the freshmade chair are fabulous!
If you love veggies, or just love spicy food, go to Annapurna and give it a try. We will be pleasantly surprised.
Pros: healthy * fresh * spicy
Cons: service can be slow * * |

Review: Visiting from out of town, my wife and I were delighted to find this vegetarian option. The food is very tasty, affordably priced and plentiful. However, unfortunately, as is typical of most vegetarian restaurants, the decor is non existaent, and service is cafeteria style. As a vegetarina, I wonder why don't vegetarian restaurants aspire to the same level of service and ambiance as other restaurants?
Pros: Taste * Portion Size * Value
Cons: Ambiance * Service * Cleanliness |

Review: As happy vegetarian foodies, we are always on the lookout for a new place, especially for breakfast. We were excited when we found Annapurna's here on Happy Cow. Having said that, my partner and I were incredibly disappointed by both the food and service (and even the chai) at Annapurna's. We waited nearly 40 minutes after ordering (there were only 3 other patrons), watched as both of the other tables and even one of their own servers were given their food. When we finally asked after our food, they brought us our pancakes and tofu scramble stone cold. Aside from the temperature, the pancakes were soggy and the tofu scramble WAY salty. Disappointed, we're still looking for a great veggie-friendly breakfast joint in ABQ. (If I could rate this restaurant 1/2 or 1 cow, I would).
Pros: * *
Cons: SLOW service * Cold Food * To much salt |

Review: We had breakfast and tea, though didn't have room to try some of their delicious-looking vegan cakes and cookies. Their tofu scramble was good w/ Indian spices and the owner combined it w/ sides he thought would be best for each person (I don't know if that's based on the ingredients we ordered in the scramble, or what). Annapurna is based on making food that is more than just physically nourishing, but the best for an individual's overall "dosha". I would say this was the best veggie food I found in ABQ.

Review: My wife and I tucked in here for lunch while in town this week and ended up returning for dinner. The Uttaparam, Kitchari, Samosas, and soups are tasty and cooked to perfection - not to mention the great selection of teas. The service is great and they seem to have (good) live music now and then. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and they even offer free wifi!
We plan to return here every time we return to Albuquerque!
Pros: Food/Teas * Variety * Atmosphere
Cons: Parking * * |

Review: Great location in ABQ, right across from the University.
Plenty of vegan options including desserts.
The food may NOT be for everyone, but the servings are always abundant. The food is usually heavy on spice, but it gives this place a unique taste. The tofu scramble plate is awesome with lots on it. I also suggest getting the diesel curry fries with that wicked veganaisse. The curried ketchup is good too, but that other sauce is a real treat. Definitely check out if you are in town for a conference.
Pros: lots of spices * veganaisse sauce * all the options
Cons: * * |

Review: We ate here a couple of times during our stay in ABQ and had to resist a third trip in order to add a little variety to our visit. The food is hearty and really different from other vegan options I've found elsewhere (different in a good way). The tofu scramble was particularly good, and I couldn't get enough of the Masala fries. The portions are huge and the prices very reasonable. Plenty of vegan desserts to choose from, too. You really can't go wrong at this place, and if anything the amount of vegan options is pleasantly overwhelming.
Pros: Delicious and different * Plenty of vegan options * Masala fries and garlic vegannaise dip
Cons: * * |

Review: The menu had a great selection, from traditional style Indian food to sandwiches with fries (which were delicious, by the way). Many of the items on the menu contained savory ingredients and wonderful combinations of spices. My favorite part of all were the cardamomum cookies which came in a bag of about 15. They were so delicious and addicting I had a friend bring home a bag for me. I heard they might have a delivery option available-I can't wait! I recommend even to the non-vegetarian.
Pros: Relaxed and friendly * desserts/Iced teas * variety of options
Cons: slower service * * |

Review: The food at Annapurnas was great we stopped in twice once on our way to Missouri and once on our way back, I can't vouch for the whole menu, seeing as how we both got the brunch burrito both times:) but that has to say something-right?
Pros: yummy * relaxed * cute
Cons: * * |
